Do you have unrealistic expectations of yourself? Do you come down hard on yourself when you dont get it right the first time? I do, well did and found out that what i was expecting from myself wasnt even humane, Because what i expected was perfection and being perfect is something NO HUMAN can be, so where does that lead us? listen to hear what im doing to break my own cycles of unrealistic expectations!

When a woman is in labor the doctor or midwife never fails to encourage the woman to BREATHE! no matter the amount of pain she is in they stress that, because they know that the baby she is carrying needs oxygen. And sometimes we need to be reminded to breathe and de-clutter ourselves and our souls and allow our thoughts and our minds to flow with the proper amount of oxygen. We rarely remember to stop and take a deep breath or to even stop and catch our breath, but ITS NECESSARY!!! because the purpose and the plans we carry they need oxygen, our creativity needs oxygen, and in order to fight off anxiety our minds need oxygen; aswell as space to breathe, thats why i say we have to de-clutter & stop holding so much stress, frustration and worry in. Stress is so toxic, and i would give scientific facts, i just dont have them all yet lol, but really holding in stress is holding in tension and tension brings disease, discomfort and ALOT of pain ( ask my shoulders) but when we breathe we release and free ourselves. So, yes keep pushing, grinding and all that just remember to BREATHE while you do it.

"Will you take a shot if the chance of failure and success is 50-50?"

We miss 100% of the shots we don't take, are you willing to take a chance on yourself?! What do you have to lose?!

Is Presence a Feeling or a Knowing? 

Sometimes it seems impossible to finish, too many defeats and falls makes us kinda want to quit, but Today lets decide to finish. You may be tired, but you can finish, you may finish tired but thats ok because sometimes, most times, its ENOUGH TO JUST FINISH! Get back up and do it again move again, dream again, hope again, run again. Where ever you are stuck, whatever you gave up on, TRY AGAIN. It isnt over and this isnt how your story ends.

Its amazing how we can look to God, run to Him and He becomes just what we need in that moment. He is near to our broken heart, He is near when we question, He is the light that the darkness of our failures & frailties cannot overcome. He Is!
